it's an old swiss term that's still used today. so eventually the firn itself gets more compact, more recrystallized, and it becomes glacier ice. subject to extreme, instantaneous stress, ice shatters like glass. but if stress such as gravity is applied gradually over a long period of time, the ice bends. this process, called plastic deformation, explains how glaciers move. generally, ice must accumulate to a thickness of approximately 20 meters before movement starts. pulled by gravity, ice in a glacier typically shifts down slope a few millimeters per day. to study glacial flow, louis agassiz and his students built a hut on the ice itself. they observed that the center of the glacier moved most quickly, while friction slowed down movement along its sides. a similar phenomenon is observed in rivers and streams. scientists like agassiz also wanted to understand how glaciers flow internally. but it wasn't until early in the post-world war ii era that glaciologists were able to drill a hole through a swiss glacier. and this was a hol

(slow percussion music playing) (julie dash) "daughters of the dust" is based upon african deities, so the structure unravels and the story reveals itself in a very west african way. in the way an african rio would recount and recall and retell his family's history. i was trying to shoot in tableaux that people would remember to redefine african-americans, specifically african women, in historical drama. (african woman) when i was a child, mother cut this from her hair before she was sold away from me. now i add on my own hair, there must be a bond, a connection. i wrote "daughters of the dust" while i was a student at afi. and they marked a big "no" across it. and years la

no wonder i used to think sometimes there was something in your work. if you ever do any more painting around here, i swear i'll write that woman a letter telling her you're stealing her ideas. we've already seen chris in the domestic sphere with his shrewish wife, completely emasculated and clearly impotent. you're a thief! we've seen him struggling to become a man and at each point the women have blocked him. you have a situation where chris is being accused of a crime that he didn't commit. he did not plagiarize the paintings -- it's his work -- just as by the end of the movie, he will have eluded punishment, or at least punishment by the state, for a crime that he did commit.
